Sharp List: Revolver 44GT

There are things that justify their existence through utility. These are called needs. And then there are things that earn their keep through the pure, unadulterated joy of use. There’s no question to which category Revolver’s 44GT belongs—just look at her.

A new breed of boat from the Italian performance builder, the 44GT is designed to go fast in the utmost comfort. The former is accomplished via twin supercharged Mercury engines pushing out a thrilling 1,400 horsepower, for a maximum cruising speed of 65 knots (120 km/h). The latter is thanks to a revolutionary concept in performance boating: a folding hardtop.

Spend the day sunning and swimming from the electronic retractable rear deck and then, when the clouds roll in, raise the roof with the push of a button and hightail it back to port. Top up or down, with a choice of nine hull colours including Red Dragon and Borealis Orange this Revolver won’t be mistaken for anything else on the water.
